The True Doctrine

A recent dispatch from Washing
ton says:
The President to-day denied
application for pardon 70 the case
Of James J Stanley. who was con-
victed April IS of fraudulent reg
istration and sentenced 70 ninety
days imprisonment in jail at ST.
Louis. The President indorsed
the application as follows: i cam
moi pardon crime against the cleo
tion law except il be in a case pre-
senting unusual considerations for
elemenoy. I consider such ofrsnses
the worst fall crimes and I know
Of none the punishment Of which
is more important to the public. +"
All honor to Mr.. Cleveland fr
the sentiment here uttered. The
ballot is the foundation stone Of
Republican government. and the
man who steals it, underminds the
fundamental principles underlying
Republican institutions. There
never was a time when fraud at
lhe ballot box was iustifsble, and
no combination Of circumstances
can excuse such an outrage at this
day and time. Let our friends
who are Jealous in the suppression
Of vice and the advocacy ofreform

and political evils that beset us.

The Mobile Register discussing
this subject, says:
We think the captains Of these

On going oyer the list Of compan-
les in the various provisional bat
talions, we find that the two color

the march the battalion containing
the Washington companies was
placed ahead of the battalion con-
tanning the Vicksburg company,
aud the Virginia brigade with its
two colored companies marched
ahead of the battalion containing
the Memphis Zouaves we can't
see that any question Of social
equality or anything else was in

We regret this exhibition Of SUI
